There is no objective audio quality improvement to using analog equipment (vs correctly engineered digital). The appeal of analog is in the physicality of it, the constraints, the user interface, and the way it colors (i.e. distorts) the sound. It's art, and it's great, but at the end of the day you can always digitize the result and it'll sound the same, and theoretically you can also emulate almost any analog audio processing digitally (though it might be hard and nobody might have implemented it yet). The way to enjoy analog is to pay no attention to all those ignorant audiophiles who still claim it has a quality advantage over digital (while having not the slightest idea how the Nyquist-Shanning sampling theorem works), and enjoy it for what it is. Art. A tool. Nostalgia. Imperfection. Constraints. Skill. It's 2020 and we still enjoy 8-bit games. Analog is the same thing. And it shouldn't go away, just like retro gaming shouldn't go away. Just ignore that dude who says that LPs have better audio quality than CDs. Now I hope I don't spawn a generation of gameophiles that say that SNES mode7 3D is higher quality than an Nvidia RTX :-)
